Telford Town Tramway
The Telford steam tram at the Telford Steam Railway of the Telford Horsehay Steam Trust, runs on a Narrow gauge railway, narrow gauge track. This follows a short circular route, part of which runs near to the lake known as Horsehay Pool. Prior to the completion of the circle after arriving near the loco shed, it paused very briefly before returning, coach first, to the starting point near the entrance. The tram and 16-seat coach were built by Alan Keef Ltd for the Telford#Modern history, Telford Development Corporation, first running on Saturday 8 September 1979. The tram and coach originally ran in Telford Town Park alongside Randlay Pool, on about of the trackbed of the former Coalport Branch Line, on the Telford Town Tramway which was opened by the Wilbert Awdry, Reverend W. Awdry, who named the tram Thomas, on 9 April 1980 but did not last very long there. The tram moved to its present site in the mid-1980s. Steam trams were at one time a fairly familiar sight, as in the la ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Steam Tram, Telford Steam Railway By L S Wilson
Steam is a substance containing water in the gas phase, and sometimes also an aerosol of liquid water droplets, or air. This may occur due to evaporation or due to boiling, where heat is applied until water reaches the enthalpy of vaporization. Steam that is saturated or superheated steam, superheated is invisible; however, "steam" often refers to wet steam, the visible mist or aerosol of water droplets formed as water vapor condensation, condenses. Water increases in volume by 1,700 times at standard temperature and pressure; this change in volume can be converted into work (physics), mechanical work by steam engines such as reciprocating engine, reciprocating piston type engines and steam turbines, which are a sub-group of steam engines. Piston type steam engines played a central role in the Industrial Revolution and modern steam turbines are used to generate more than 80% of the world's electricity. If liquid water comes in contact with a very hot surface or depressurizes quic ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
